### speechSynthesis
Performs speech synthesis (experimental).
Use `SpeechSynthesisUtterance.voice` and `window.speechSynthesis.getVoices()` to convert a message to speech.
Use `window.speechSynthesis.speak()` to play the message.
Learn more about the [SpeechSynthesisUtterance interface of the Web Speech API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/SpeechSynthesisUtterance).
```js
const speechSynthesis = message => {
const msg = new SpeechSynthesisUtterance(message);
msg.voice = window.speechSynthesis.getVoices()[0];
window.speechSynthesis.speak(msg);
};
```
```js
speechSynthesis('Hello, World'); // // plays the message
```
